Love Fatigues' shirts say "Obama" in Bambu-like type. Company owner and Obama supporter Seamus McGovern says the design is art meant to make people see a familiar symbol in a new way — not commercial copycatting.

Bambu wants a judge to award the Westbury-based company the T-shirts' profits, as well as unspecified damages. It also wants the T-shirts turned over for destruction.

Obama representatives did not immediately respond to an e-mail inquiry late Friday.
